Quotes 

• Missy : How come you're not eating your snack?

  Sheldon : I prefer my snack to be a reward for homework well done.

  Missy : You're like an old person.

  Sheldon : Thank you.

• Mary : Well, I'm happy to report that my potato salad is once again the hit of the potluck.

  George Sr. : That's great, honey.

  Mary : I feel sorry for Pam Staples. No one's touching her potato salad.

  Sheldon : If you feel bad, then why are you smiling?

  Meemaw : 'Cause sometimes your mommy's a big ol' hypocrite.

• Mary : Why does the kitchen smell like whiskey?

  Sheldon : [points to Missy with an overly bandaged finger]  Ask her.

  Mary : [sees his bandage]  Oh, my Lord!

  Missy : [smirking]  Ask me what I did to Meemaw.

• Sheldon : [voice over]  Of all the afflictions that can befall a child, one reigned supreme. Beyond scraped knees and paper cuts, nothing strikes fear in the hearts of kids around the world like a splinter.

  Sheldon : [Screaming in slow motion]  NOOOOOOOO!

• Sheldon : Did you see that?

  Missy : Yeah, there's someone in the back yard. They're trying to get in!

  Sheldon : Oh, no! What do we do?

  Meemaw : [opens the back door, the kids scream and Missy sprays her with the CO2 fire extinguisher, Meemaw spits out frost]  Will one of you get me a towel?

• Sheldon : What do we have to sterilize the needle?

  Missy : Mom uses lit matches on them.

  Sheldon : We're not allowed to play with matches.

  Missy : Well, what else will work?

  Sheldon : Alcohol.

  [cut to Missy pouring a glass full of whiskey] 

• Sheldon : [Missy's trying to extract a splinter with a needle]  What if you slip and stab me in the eye?

  Missy : I'm not gonna slip! Who always wins when we play...

  [eyes widen, runs off and gets Operation to use the game tweezers] 

• Sheldon : [whispering]  Let's make this quick.

  Missy : Why are you whispering?

  Sheldon : This is how people speak when they're being naughty.

  Missy : I wouldn't know. I'm naughty all the time.
